Food digestion occurs through chemical and physical digestion. Physically, the teeth and tongue break down food, which combined with enzymes in saliva, breaks down food before it enters the stomach.
Chewing food thoroughly allows the chemicals, which aid in digestion, to access a larger surface area to interact with. Physically breaking down food well decreases the chemical work your body must preform to break down food and increases nutritional absorption.
